Tyagi has a lot to say about the importance of having a "stellar team" that is visionary, driven, aspirational etc. In fact, having a team which they have is one of the reasons why the investors were able to show faith in their business. He says, "The biggest factor in any company's success is the team, the three founders come with extensive experience in payments domain ranging from card issuance, merchant acquiring or overall transaction processing, spanning across technology, product, operations, sales and business development."
